Book Review | The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
The secret is YOU and your thoughts.
The essence of the book “The Secret by Rhonda Byrne”
The book talks about the Secret. It emphasizes how using it anyone can get anything they want.
The Secret is you, your thoughts. It’s the infallible law of attraction. With any thought you are holding in mind, you’re attracting it. Whether they are moments of your life or every single thing you are experiencing in your life is determined by the powerful force of your thoughts.
You are the creator and you bring your dominant thoughts into your life. The author suggests that you are potent to change any or every circumstance in your life by simply changing your thoughts. It is You who is the CREATOR of your own life. This does remind me of a quote from the poem INVICTUS:
I am the master of my fate and the captain of my soul.
Your life is the manifestation of your thoughts that go on in your head. And you have the free will to choose your thoughts. Some of takeways from the book:
- You are creating all the time with your thoughts. Be affirmative!
- Be conscious of your thoughts. Be mindful. Let you control your thoughts and not let your thoughts control you.
- Use meditation to master your mind. It helps you quiet your mind.
- It is always your choice. You choose your thoughts. Hence, you are in charge of your experiences.
- Use your feelings to guide or rule your thoughts. Feeling good is an indicator of good thoughts.
- If you’re feeling down, you can change it in an instant by changing your emotion to something that you truly love and dwell on it. It’s called Secret Shifters.
- Love is the greatest emotion. It is the highest frequency you can emit. Love everything, love everyone.
- You have the freedom to create your own reality. This is done by mastering your thoughts and feelings.
- The creative process works in three simple steps: Ask, Believe, and Receive. Ask what you want, beleive that you have received, feel it as you recevie.
“Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” — Matthew 21:22
- Gratitutde: It pulls things in by attracting support. Have an attitude of gratitude.
- Visualize: It is important to see what you want as this visualization is generating thoughts and feelings of having it now. “When you visualize then you materialize.” You can build a Vision Board.
- Our thoughts → create words we speak → create feelings we feel → ACTION is made. It is all our feeling created by a thought is what makes us to act.
